Correspondence of the Richmond Dispstch.l
MARCH IL, 1887.
This morning the three-masted
schooner Clara +. Calcord, Captain L.
b. Calcord, of Rockland, Me-, was
towed into port in distress by the
United States revenue-cutter Alexan-
der Hamilton. The Captain came
ashore and noted protest. Yesterday
morning at o'clock when off Winter
Quarter Shoal hghtship, in a strong
westerly wind, the iron-work of the fore
masthead gave way, and almost imme-
diately both the mizzen and mainmasts
we're carried away and snapped off close
to the deck, smashing the top Of the
after-house and otherwise damaging the
vessel, besides causing the loss of a
boat, rigging, and several sails. The
wreckage was cut away as speedily as
possible, and about 9 o'clock the cutter
came near and sent a hawser on board
and towed the disabled vessel into the
capes last night and up to Norfolk this
morning for survey and repairs. The
schooner is loaded with molasses, and
is bound from Cardenas to Philadel-
phia. Her cargo will have to be dis
charged.

A Blood Red Circular Issued In New York
City.
New YORg, December 30.-Copies of the
following bloodthirsty document were cir.
culated on the streets this morning where
workingmen could get them:
Torch and bomb must be applied, fel-
Ow-workmen. The hour has come, the
agencies of science must play part in the
struggle OF the future. Yesterday it was
the slaughter of our comrades at Chicago;
to-day it is the assassination of go, 900 OF
our brothers on the Philadelphia and Read
ing railroad sys,em. True, the sword is
the weapon of circumstances, but their vic
tins perish all the same. Do not waste
your force on the scabs; they are only the
effect of the present damnable commercial
and competitive system. Destroy by oil
the agencies at your command direct rep
resentatives of the systematic Corbins,
the Maxwells and the Goulds.
LET the torch, the bomb or the bullet
strike them now. Let all they possess be
given to the flames Hound them day and
night. The strike must be made the war
of the classes. Brothers, remember Chi
cago and your oath"

SAwYER'S PLAN
To Create a o,ernment Postal Telegraph
system,


System.
OSHKOSH, Wis, December 30.-When
asked yesterday whether he was in favor
of the postal telegraph scheme, Senator
Sawyer said he would favor bill which
had been before the committee one and
three years ago. That was that the Post
master General advertise for proposals TO
do good telegraph and all other business
offered at price not TO exceed ~ cents
for twenty words, including the address
and signature, for 1000 miles and under;
% cents for distances between 1000 and
!, 200 miles, and not over 50 cents for
twenty words for any greater distance
within the United States; night messages
at half price, the government to furnish in
postcfflces, where wires run and other
points il might designate, the company to
furnish operators and the Government to
deliver the messages at free delivery cities
for letter postages. If the government re-
ceived no bids at the above prices, then
the Postmaster General he instructed TO
advertise for proposals for the purchase Of
all lines in the country and report the bids
to the next Congress This plan, Senator
Sawyer stated, would be similar TO that
adopted by the government in the opera
ton OF the mail service.

A NEW TERRITORY.
An Indiana Town Thinks 1t Is Big Enough
to be Admitted.

to be Admitted.
LOUISVILLE, KY, December 30.-The
people Of the town of Clarksville, Ind.
which is situated about midway between
Jeffersonyille and New Albany, on the
Ohio river, are just at present in great
state af agitation from various causes.
One is the seizure of their streets by rail-
roads of the State and other parties. They
believe that they are being hemmed in,
and they mean to protest vigorously.
movement is now on foot among the peo-
pie OF that locality, to organize, hold an
election, send delegates to the National
Congress and demand admission as a terri
tory or district under the old Virginia
charter, which they claim is still in full
force.
Clarksville, next to Vincennes, is the
oldest town in Indiana. In October 1913,
Virginia caused town to be surveyed on
the north bank Of the falls of the Ohio,
described as being situated in the county
of Illinois. This was to be laid OFF in q
reservation of 10000 acres, granted ia
General George Rogers Clark, and his men
and officers who marched with him and
reduced the British posts at Kaskasia and
Vincennes.
The fee simple together with the gov
ernment of the town was vested In ten
trustees. March l, 1884, Thomas Jetler-
son, Arthur Lee, James Monroe and SAM
uel Hardy in behalf of Virginia, executed
deed transferring to the United States all
title of Virginia to the northwest territory,
but expressly excepting the rights of set
tiers under the grant TO General Clark,
known rs the Illinois grant.
1t is maintained that the claim will have
a strong showing before the Supreme Court.

Of the tsuSea-A Very
Interesting Table.

BALTIMORE, December 30.-The Manu-
facturers' Record will publish this week Its
annual review of the industrial growth OF
the South for 1887, which it says was in
many respects the most remarkable year
in the history of that section, as more was
accomplished for the progress and pros
perity of the whole South than ever before
in the same length Of time. From Mary
land to Texas the progress was remarkable,
covering almost the entire range of indus
try, and there is scarcely single line OF
manufacturing or mining business, In
which the number of new enterprises re
ported during 1887 is not more than twice
as large as in 1886. OF the fourteen
Southern States, there are only four IN
which the capital invested IN new enter
prises is not double the amount invested
last year.
The amount of capital including capital
stock of incorporated companies organized
during 1897, compared with 1856, was:-

INGERSOLL'S PHILOSOPHY.
A Touching and Eloquent Tribute to the
Dead

A Touching and Eloquent Tribute to the
Dead
NEW YORK, December 3O.-Mrs. Ida
Whiting Knowles, wife of the Hon. How
ard Knowles, late q. s. Collector at Peoria
H., died in this city on December Is
She was an estimable woman and leaves 8
wide circle of friends to mourn her early
death. Before her remains were sent to
the West, Col. Robert G. Ingersoll deliv'
cred the following tribute to her memory
my friends, again We stand in the
shadow of the great mystery-a shadow a:
deep and dark as when the tears fthe first
mother fell upon the pallid face of her life
less babe-a mystery that has never yet
been solved. We have met in the presenct
Of the sacred dead to speak word of praise
Of hope, Of consolatian.
Another life of love is now blessed
memory-a lingering strain on music
The loving daughter, the pure and eonse
Grated wife, the sincere friend, who with
tender faithfulness discharged the duties
Of life, has reached her journeys end. A
brsver, a more serene, more chivalriC
spirit-clssping the loved and by them
clssped-never passed from life, to enrich
tse. realm of death. No field Of war evel
witnessed greater fortitude, more perfect
smiling courage than this poor, weak and
helpless woman displayed upon the bed Of
pain and death. Her life was quiet and
her death sublime.
''She loved the good, and all the good
loved her. But there is this consolation
She can never suffer more; she can never
feel again the chill of death; never part
again from those she loves; her heart can
break no more; she has shed her last tear
and upon her stainless brow has been sci
the wondrous seal of everlasting peace,
''When the angel of death-the masked
and voiceless-enters the door of home
there come with her all the daughters OF
Compassion, and of these Love and Hope
remain forever.
"You are about to take the dear dust
home-tO the home of her girlhoOd, and to
the place that was once my home. You
will lay her with neighbors that have
loved, that are now at rest. You will lay
her where my father sleeps.
"All l can say is:
Lay her in the earth,
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh, let
violets spring
81 never knew, / never met, a Drawer
spirit than the one that inhabited that silent
form of dreamless clay"
